In the world of celebrity gossip, it seems that Tom Cruise has found himself a new love interest. The famous 'Mission: Impossible' star reportedly met his new girlfriend, Elsina Khayrova, in a very British fashion over a cup of tea. According to an exclusive source from Page Six, Cruise has been hosting Sunday tea parties at his Hyde Park penthouse in London, where he feels much more comfortable than in Los Angeles.

It was during one of these tea parties that Khayrova was introduced to Cruise by a mutual friend. The parties are said to be quite luxurious, with butlers attending to the guests and homemade cakes served in the most British tradition. The source reveals that Cruise's tea parties have become an exclusive gathering for the elite social circle in London.

Khayrova, a Russian socialite and millionaire divorcee, was previously married to Russian oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov. Their divorce reportedly cost Tsvetkov a staggering £150 million ($188 million), with extravagant expenses on clothes and handbags throughout their 11-year marriage. Khayrova herself is said to be the daughter of a politician affiliated with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Cruise's tea parties have not gone unnoticed in the media. Previous speculation suggested that even Prince William and Kate might make an appearance at these exclusive events. Attendees, including staff, are required to sign non-disclosure agreements, adding an element of secrecy to the gatherings. Reports of beautiful women seen entering and leaving Cruise's apartment on Sundays have only added to the intrigue surrounding these parties.

While the tea parties have garnered attention, Cruise's fondness for London extends beyond these events. In June 2022, it was reported exclusively by Page Six that Cruise was searching for apartments in the UK after falling in love with the city. This newfound love for London seems to have intensified with his growing relationship with Khayrova.

The couple's romance became public when they were spotted together at a party in Grosvenor Square at the beginning of December. Witnesses claim that they spent most of the night dancing together, clearly enjoying each other's company. The following week, Cruise went all out by renting an entire floor of a swanky London restaurant, Novikov, where they enjoyed a private dinner showcasing the finest lobster, seafood, and sushi, reportedly worth over $600.

Recent reports from the Daily Mail indicate that Cruise and Khayrova are now officially an item. According to an insider, it is well-known within Khayrova's circle that she and Cruise are dating. However, the couple is keen on maintaining their privacy and have been cautious about being photographed together.

As rumors continue to swirl around this high-profile relationship, it remains to be seen how Cruise and Khayrova will navigate the challenges that come with their fame and the expectations of the public. Nonetheless, it seems that Cruise has found solace in his Sunday tea parties and in the company of his new British girlfriend as he embraces the charm of London.
